Legends Never Die: Broadcom Delivers Unmatched Value for Federal Zero Trust Initiatives 

By Richard Verwers |

August 25, 2026

Federal agencies working to close cybersecurity gaps and advance Zero Trust maturity now have a powerful new incentive to act. Through Carahsoft, Broadcom is offering an 85% discount on its bundled Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Carbon Black Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Carbon Black App Control solution for net-new license purchases, with an additional option to purchase these tools individually at a 75% discount off General Services Administration (GSA) list price. Running from August 1st through September 30th, 2026, this limited-time promotion gives agencies a rare opportunity to strengthen their security posture while maximizing the value of remaining fiscal year budget.  

Unifying Security Under a Single Console 

The core objective of the GSA OneGov strategy is helping agencies operate as a unified enterprise rather than a collection of disconnected systems. Broadcom’s bundled offering directly supports this vision by combining DLP, Carbon Black EDR and Carbon Black App Control into a single, streamlined security framework. This approach delivers strong threat prevention and analytics through one console, giving agencies unmatched visibility into their endpoints, applications and overall security stack. Rather than juggling disparate tools with fragmented reporting, security teams gain a simplified, centralized way to manage their entire environment, an essential building block on the path to full Zero Trust alignment.  

Protecting Data and Detecting Threats Across the Enterprise 

Each component of the bundle plays a distinct role in securing Federal data and systems for cross-agency collaboration: 

  • Symantec DLP delivers critical data protection, visibility and control, offering real-time defense against data leaks through automated message blocking and modification that enforce downstream encryption or quarantining. 
  • Carbon Black App Control takes a positive security model approach, allowing only trusted, approved software to run on Government systems instead of relying on lists of known threats that can quickly become outdated. 
  • Carbon Black EDR continuously records endpoint activity, equipping security teams with the tools they need for both proactive threat hunting and reactive incident response. 

Together, these capabilities identify malicious activity and help agencies meet stringent security compliance requirements, while reducing the manual burden on IT and security staff. 

Built for Every Government Environment 

Federal agencies operate across widely varying infrastructures, and Broadcom’s bundled solutions are designed to keep pace. All three tools—Symantec DLP, Carbon Black EDR and Carbon Black App Control—can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud or within air-gapped networks and can be combined with other solutions to help agencies achieve full Zero Trust alignment. This flexibility means agencies with limited technical resources can adopt and scale these tools without being locked into a single deployment model, ensuring consistent protection regardless of where sensitive workloads reside. 

A Streamlined Path to Procurement 

Beyond the technology itself, Broadcom’s current GSA contract and pricing model is designed to simplify acquisition for Federal buyers. Every product is available at a pre-negotiated, fair and reasonable price, removing much of the friction traditionally associated with Government procurement. During this end-of-year promotion window, agencies can secure an 85% discount on the bundled SKU for net-new purchases, or a 75% discount on DLP, Carbon Black EDR and Carbon Black App Control when purchased individually. Carahsoft and Broadcom have noted that after the promotion ends, they can still provide discounts but not higher than this promotional discount. 

A Limited-Time Opportunity to Strengthen Federal Security 

As the fiscal year draws to a close, this promotion offers Federal agencies a strategic opportunity to consolidate their security stack, advance Zero Trust objectives and stretch remaining budget dollars further. With strong threat prevention, centralized visibility and flexible deployment options, Broadcom’s DLP, Carbon Black EDR and Carbon Black App Control bundle provides a proven foundation for securing data and systems across even the most complex Government environments.
